Greetings!

taken note of the daily Prensa Latina :

Bogotá, November 27 (PL) The revelation of the signing of a political agreement between 40 members of Congress and leaders of the paramilitary United Self-Defense Colombia (AUC) was today becomes the new chapter of scandal of "para-politics" in this nation. The Colombian press and the common have been called to Parapolitics unveiled links between politicians and paramilitaries for control of municipalities, departments and even a good number of seats in Congress.

On day 9, the Supreme Court issued a security measure is not entitled to release from lawmakers Alvaro Garcia, Jairo Merlano and Eric Morris for alleged links with the AUC. Shortly thereafter, the prosecution failed the same way against the former parliamentary Jesus Muriel Benito and former governor of Sucre and former ambassador to Colombia in Chile, Salvador Arana . In the next chapter of this scandal, the government senator, Miguel de la Espriella said that in 2001, long before the government starts peace process (December 2002) with the AUC, 40 lawmakers traveled to Santa Fe de Ralito . He said the political agreement signed by all the parliamentarians, was an endorsement of a public movement to promote the proposals of the AUC in the negotiations with the government. "We submitted a paper whose main purpose was to expose a movement of public opinion, rather than political, to collect the thoughts and ideas of the AUC, and this required political support, Senator referred. In addition to the legislators, of whom declined to reveal names, "De la Espriella said the agreement was signed by political leaders of Cordoba as mayors, governors, councilors and even journalists. The senator said the meeting was made because the circumstances were special policy and added that "armed groups operating in certain regions, owned in those areas. It was an established para-state." He argued that attended the event of paramilitary leaders under pressure, because the relationships of some of the politicians were not voluntary, but under the intimidation of guns. I am convinced that here must know the truth and as Congress today that we are part of Uribe we lived these circumstances, said the senator. After clarifying that the government of President Alvaro Uribe was unaware of that agreement, De la Espriella said that among the signatories appear liberal and conservative politicians and people who are now part of the Executive. The revelation of government senator could be related to the decision of the Supreme Court, which this week issued an injunction requiring the Senate to determine if De la Espriella is still a member of that corporation.

This is an indication that the senator could be called the Court to declare in the famous case of para-politics, the scandal broke out in Colombia for the links between politicians and paramilitaries.

A little word has entered the everyday vocabulary of the Colombian "para-politics ."

And the sensation of saying it is sad to know that has been in the past ten years there, pursuing the common life of the Colombian people, but nobody wants to accept or recognize. Now when we enter into "Peace processes, justice and reparation" to the paramilitaries so that no one armed and the margins of the law in Colombia is clear that never demobilized nor will it have been in power since 2002 in the Executive Branch and ultimately from the Legislative from the municipal, state governments, the departmental assemblies, the councils, from the prosecution. From the Armed Forces.

And as often happens in Colombia, the story is easy to forget ... When I first started the first term as president Alvaro Uribe Velez took over 500 catches in the different municipalities in Colombia, most mayors, government officials and councilors, noted of aiding the FARC and later released when they have no evidence in against. Was just starting the second period, strange attacks struck the front pages of the Colombian press, as a harbinger of things to happen next ... now expect the same will happen with the supporters and promoters of paramilitaries in the political class.

must remember that this country has touched many are forced to pay extortion paramilitaries and the guerrillas to stay out to the farm, do not extort the business, not kidnapped employees, do not steal the goods on the roads. But now you can not pay a single penny for this war machine was very well supported by dozens of politicians who now should be moving heaven and earth to get everything filed and their names are as clean as the white collar. And to make matters worse, senators Alvaro Araujo (bad actor and political TV messed with the paramilitary in Valledupar) who says things like:

"If they go by me, go through 'Concepcion' and the President "

Initially low profile has also been punctuated by guilt of his brother ... Leaving little doubt in the ministry, which has canceled more than a diplomatic trip by the scandal.

What say you, Mr. Uribe? We do not want to even think that one of these characters that you yourself now called "criminals" or "paramilitaries" have been around him, as the long list of congressmen who are now investigating or former diplomats which you yourself appointed and who are friends of his for many years . We do not want another four years of paramilitaries ( drug) in politics and guerrillas in the jungle ( drug ) with hostages killed in life. And to top it off, arrested in La Ceja (Antioquia) are transferred to other prisons to cover the scandal and they put on a hunger strike and Judges of the Republic ranging from "fun" with the mafia Cosa Nostra Italian ...
